Comment Tell the UN to beat it. (Score 1) 1149
DNS is useless without the pipes to transmit the data. Currently the major ISP create mutual love hate agreements to pier with each other. Arbitrarily giving anyone control of the DNS system would be a horrible idea.
ISPs for the most part decide what DNS servers are used by there customers. Most ISPs agree to use the same root name servers much like the agree to connect thier networks. But no one forces them, this is driven by customer demand.
This leads lots of room to block and cache any Name resolution an ISP or Country would like. Last time I checked the UN has no power to stop Genocide in its member countries. There is no way they are in a position to counter censorship acrross the globe.
This sounds like a power grab by the UN.
